if you find out let me know. I tried cornstarch and felt it changed the taste. I think using cream and then a rue might work.

today I was feeling icky and made a chicken broth with coconut milk, curry, lemon grass, celery and cilantro. I cooked organic chicken thighs, chopped, returned to broth and added shitaki mushrooms sliced. Finally organic somen noodles which is a very thin Japanese wheat noodle.

It was amazing. I actually made a huge batch and put some in the freezer. You can also use tofu or seiten.

tomorrow I am going to make: peanut-vegetable stew with green onion dumplings..

it's pretty straight forward and should be done with everything cleaned up in an hour at most...

I'm looking forward to it...and to sharing a home-coming dinner with my fella...even though it's gonna be a hard meal since he'll know when he is going to move out of state and all kinds of unpleasant real-life things...still, I'm not gonna starve him !! :)

and on we go...

Apple Pie Cookies
These are soft and a little like cake but very yummy

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup oats (not quick oats)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup apple sauce
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
2 medium sized apples peeled and chopped
1/4 cup milk
1 cup raisins or pecans (optional)

Vanilla Glaze: In a small mixing bowl blend 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar with 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 2 to 3 tablespoons of apple concentrate or juice (if you have apple cider concentrate around holiday time this is super yummy to sub in)

Preparation:

Bake at 375° for 10 to 14 minutes

Sift flour with baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice, add in oats. In a large mixing bowl cream butter, brown sugar and beat in the egg until well blended. Stir in half of flour and spice mixture, then stir in the apple and raisins or pecans if you choose to add them. Blend in milk, then remaining flour mixture.

Drop by rounded tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto non-stick baking sheets. While cookies are still warm spread thinly with Vanilla Glaze. Makes about 3 dozen apple pie cookies.
